Automated separation of 99 Tc using plastic scintillation resin PSresin and openview automated modular separation system (OPENVIEW-AMSS)

AbstractAutomated methods for the analysis of radionuclides potentially increase laboratory productivity by reducing operator intervention and increasing the number of samples that can be treated in a given time. To this end, here we report a new openview automated modular separation system which can be used in combination with PSresin, in this case, for the analysis of99Tc. Quality parameters of this method using the automated system were comparable to those obtained manually and quantification of water samples spiked with low levels of99Tc resulted in deviations lower than 10% for all the samples analysed.
